- Remember that you need to send a complete application in for each new service location regardless if your business is already enrolled in DMEPOS at one of your current locations.

- All signatures and dates must be original, no copies are accepted and blue ink is preferred.
- You must have a working phone number at the location you wish to enroll because they will try to call. Currently they are not accepting VOIP or cell phones as your primary land line.
- There is a fee requirement for all new enrollees or new address additions. The fee is currently $535
- There are now accreditation requirements if you plan to provide DMEPOS to non-patients or if you are not on the exemption list available here
- The receipt when paying your fee for DMEPOS must be provided when you send your application in or it will be returned.
- You CANNOT hold DMEPOS claims and be paid for them, so make sure to write scripts for what your patients need until your approval letter arrives.
